White discharge/flakes when I rub on penis head

Hi I'm 18 male have a problem which seems very rare. I've looked on the internet can't seem to find anyone who knows what it is.

Here are the symptoms (im not circumsized)

- my penis head has a light indentation / marking in a circular shape
- the skin is very slightly discolored, a little grey/blue looking but it's not very noticable, somewhat wrinkly also
- if I rub on the head of my penis (lightly, even) or just under the head at the shaft, small white blobs seem to peel off. they are not dry, they're moist almost like cottage cheese but very small
- slight smell to it but not that much more than my penis ever smelled before

these symptoms all vary, sometimes they are nonexistent other times they are quite noticeable. I have absolutely no itching, discomfort, or burning.

If anyone has any idea what this could be, PLEASE let me know. It doesn't seem to look like or match the symptoms of any fungus, bacteria, or STD that I have researched. I'm wondering if it could just be dry skin but I don't think this is normal.

thank you for any help. hopefully I posted this in the right area.

Hello,
It can be due to smegma, yeast infection or lichen planus. Lichen planus is an inflammatory disease that affects the skin and the oral mucosa, and presents itself in the form of papules(flat spots) or rashes. Treatment is available only on prescription and consists mainly of steroids,retinoids,hydroquinone and phototherapy.

To confirm the diagnosis please get an evaluation done by a dermatologist.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

im no expert...but just from reading your post...maybe look into "yeast infection"...or just yeast in general...girls get in alot but men can carry it and get it too...it's not an STD...you can get it by the type of clothes you wear and how damp it gets down there etc....anyway, just tryn to throw somethn out there...have a great day.
